Cos Kpop gods and pimps are swaggering through!!!!! Looks like some people ain’t playin’ in 2011 and i Just. Effin’. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!

What do I mean??? Today and yesterday alone new vids from Rain’s Princes: Mblaq, the desperately anticipated TVXQ and the Flyest Playboys in Seoul: GD&TOP. I tell you my browser is swaying under the weight of all the youtube and kpop news pages I have open! Lol! I just had to come out of hiatus again and share, share, share!!!!

Well. here are the vids and my opinions wether you like em or not! heh!

MBLAQ – CRY

These boys have always been cute to me because I like Rain and they are so obviously his boys. They sing like him, dance like him and one of them even looks like him (*____*)! This video only further pushes that impression for me. The song is sexy and in a classic R&B style that I like but the video……

I really preferred “Y” I think. This one was just made me wish they were doing something a little fresher. And the wardrobe! I know as a GD fan I shouldn’t really be qualified to talk about what other people wear but I believe that GD can get away with ANYTHING. It’s one of his particular gifts. It’s not a gift that a lot of people have. Seriously the boys of Mblaq are cute enough so I believe they could simplify. With them, less would be sooooooooooo much more >:)

But overall, a nice effort. It’s just that the bar keeps rising so they really have to push more to distinguish them selves.

TVXQ – KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN

I’m not a Cassie but I do like the men of TVXQ! Who wouldn’t, right? I was delighted to see that HoMin was out with a new video (I actually havn’t seen JYJ’s yet! Shame! Shame!) and felt quite rewarded when I watched it!

The song is epic!!! Epic!!! EPIC!!! Reminds me of everything I love about Kpop! And they look GREAT!!! The choreography is on point too! Really powerful and at one point it really reminded me of Black Greek Stepping which is something I really like!!! The wardrobe was a little woah! At a point they seemed to be wearing something made from ugly furniture with hair on the back. The miracle is that their smexiness shone through!^^

Changmin really blossomed in this video even though he had fewer parts than Yunho. His voice just AMAZED me! And from the comments section on the YouTube page I think many Cassie’s felt their biases shifting towards this manly macknae by the end of the video!

Just great! Can’t wait to see Live performances. I bet they’ll kill it!

WARNING: EVERYTHING FROM HERE ONWARDS IS SERIOUSLY BIASED.

GD&TOP – KNOCK OUT

…

…

I’m honestly speechless about this video.

I really am literally knocked out. I’ve been rewatching it all day and I still can’t find the words to express how much I love it. I can just say that I believe that YG has swaggered its way out of the KPop box because this is just GOOD POP, PERIOD!

I already liked the song from when they performed it at the MNet Award thing because of the catchy chorus and because GD’s funny, crazy wave dance. I got the album in itunes and I was loving it on there along with High High, Oh Yeah, Obsession, Don’t Leave, What Do You Want (LOVE THIS ONE!!! GD doing Vintage Funk with a hint of his inner Punk!!!<3<3<3)

The video is beyond any expectation I could have had for it! It’s the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party meets the Playboy Mansion and GD and TOP showcase a crazy, fun kind of cool that just looks so easy on them! It’s fresh! It’s different! And it’s very, very them!!!!

There are so many bits I love that it doesn’t even make sense!!! The bubble wrap addiction! The insane couture and hair (honestly only THEY can get away with it!), Gaho all grown up! The butt chairs? The Tank? The list is just endless!!! Ican’t even hope to photo spazz it all!!!! And I cannot watch this video without grinning crazily then pressing replay at the end! Even now I want to go back to it! Waaaaaahhhhh!!!! It really is an obsession like the chorus says!!!

And let me also just take the opportunity to say this bcos i dunno if I have yet.

Over this past year I have come to seriously respect G-Dragon as an entertainer. The music he writes and produces, his consistently break through style, his amazing skills as a dancer and choreographer (I LOVE how he moves!!!!! this part of him is so under rated because he underplays it so much but as a lover of dancing, I can’t help but notice it!) his effectiveness as a leader, his professionalism and ability to keep pushing through hard times, all at such a young age have earned him my sincere admiration. He works so unbelievably hard and has been doing so for so long. If I could take just a little of his work ethic I can only imagine what I could achieve.

I now believe he is one of the most exciting acts currently active on the world’s Pop music scene and I know he’s only going to get better!

Er – I guess my GD bias was showing there. Well, TOP is also hella sexy, slayin’ the ladies with those glances and that knowing smirk! And I extra appreciate the effort he put into dancing, even pulling out a commendable Harlem shake!!! I once said that if I had GD I would probably cheat on him with TOP and also vice versa. This remains true! Lol!

First of all a disclaimer: I seriously love these guys so it’s highly probable that nothing I say about this song and MV can be taken objectively.

Now that that’s out of the way… SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGWHYARETHEYSODAMNCUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGILOVELOVELOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGD&TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YGFOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR KHAMSAHAMIDAPAPAYGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways that’s my opinion. I guess you could say I liked it. I did. It made me think how fun it would be to really party with the YG fam and with GD and TOP in particular! Such cool energy! I guess after Sukkie they are officially the idols I want to party wih most!

So, many interesting discussions have come up as a result of the video. Here are the ones I remember of the top of my head:

1. The Hair: TOP’s unbelievable shock of white hair and GD’s funky Mo’Fro. Quite a few people are saying No!NO! to the sylists for this one but I don’t know, I kind of like them!!! Talk about show stoppers! And I think I can say I’d never seen an Asian Mo’Fro before GD did one! The way I see it, they’re going to be gone in a flash because the boys change their hair like they change their costumes so lets enjoy the flamboyance while it’s here! Plus, no one else could wear it like them! NO ONE!

2. What’s With all the White Girls?: Seriously, what’s with this question? So what if there are a lot of white girls in the club? There were also Asian girls and I saw at least one black girl too! Jeeze, let our white sisters get some love too! Good to see all the variety of people that appreciate GTOP! And let’s not forget that GTOP are P.I.M.P.S!!!! Get your Pimp on Players! As we say in Nigeria; Nothing Do You!!!

3. It’s Kinda Like G6: Actually I agree with this one! Lol! I really feel like this song is their answer to G6, except their video killed Far East Movement’s Vid (what can I say, more cheddah i guess^^). I would definitely have rather gone to GTOP’s party. But seriously I’ve been playing the two songs back to back because I really like them together (it’s like my appreciation for G6 rose because of High High) and now I’d like to make a special request for anyone with the inclination: MASHUP PLEASE!!!

I do love my MASHUPS! ❤

Anyways, here my Spam of fave moments from the Vid.

GD: Welcome to the Fantastic World!!! TOP: This is my pet VIP!!! Guy In Background: No, seriously! I’m supposed to be here! Bouncer: I dunno, buddy. You don’t look like a hot chick to me…

GD: You can be a pet VIP too!!! TOP: Dial 1-800-PRETTYBOYSWAG VIP: *_____________*

Tae-Tae: As longs as I’m up here, I’m not breaking any rules, right? Seungri: Finally!!!! I’m old enough to be here!!!! Now to out-Pimp Ji-Youngie Hyung!!!!

I’ll be real with y’all. At first I was mad at this heifer. But then I saw what she was trying to do and I realized she must be working for us. Anyone who does anything to undress TOP is a friend in my book so *snaps* Go on, Girl!!!

Kinda misunderstood. Kinda thought there would be a video release? But it was a real live You Tube broadcast which is actually really cool!!!

I’m saddish but not so much because with the internet connection we have here in good ol Naij (as we sometimes call our beloved Nigeria), I would have had more luck just strolling over to Seoul and watching it LIVE live than being able to see it on YT!^^

Anyway, thank the kpop gods for a new YG release and congrats to them too!!! Chukahae!! Chukahae!!!

And thank determined VIPs for dubbing the live event somehow and thank ibigbang for having it up!!!!! Heeheehee!!!

cr:aleexbby@YT

Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! Looks like so much fun!!!! And they both look so cuteeeeee!!! Wish I was clubbing in Seoul with them! Maybe I should have tried that stroll after all!

First of all, Yesterday was G-Dragons birthday so, Happy 23rd Birthday Kwon Ji-Youngie, you freaking wunderkind, smexy, Pop Prince, you!!! Hope you were able to enjoy it and that you love all the great presents I know you’re getting!!!^^

The party doesn’t stop there! According to ibigbang, today is the official anniversary of BigBang!! They are 4 years old in the industry now!! Almost Hyungs!!!^^ Congratulations to BB on this special day and of course to all VIPs!!!!

Then we finally get to see some choreography for Taeyang’s track, “I’ll Be There”!! Sorry! It’s a fan cam so it’s shaky and he drops out of sight a few times!^^ On ibigbang the poster implied that this is Shaun Evaristo’s choreography and I can see why, it’s totally his style and I love his style!!! I hope BigBang always works with him!!!!

Anyways, check it:

Hehe!! Epic much?

Good News for all 2ne1 fans!!!! That is, good news if you like Black Eyed Peas (and I do!^^)

Rumour (or rather PopSeoul) has it that Will. I. Am after checking one of their vids decided he wanted a piece of them and the famous producer has worked on a slew of songs with them!! The result of their work together will be used for their US debut but as of now we have no date for that.

Nervous about my girls trying to crack the US market 0.0; But very proud of them and really can’t wait to hear what the collabos sound like!!!

Finally, I want to finish this post on a hometown note. Most of you know that I’m a total Cheddah Head, meaning fan of Nigerian Pop artist, Mo’Cheddah. Well I had to do a slideshow for her latest track, “Shampoo” cos it’s so yummerlicious!! Here it is!!!^^
